VoIP Spear
What it is
VoIP Spear monitors network quality for real-time services such as calls, video, and gaming. It assesses MOS, jitter, packet loss, and latency, and grades endpoint results on a 1-to-5 scale. Endpoints are tested every 60 seconds, and users can configure who receives alerts and how often when quality falls below standard. Testing uses ping by default; SIP OPTIONS and UDP testing are also available by contacting VoIP Spear. The service says its test servers span more than 15 major cities across North America, South America, Europe, and Asia/Pacific. Sentry desktop software runs in the background on Windows and Mac for continuous measurement. The API uses JSON over HTTPS and supports GET, POST, PATCH, and DELETE, though API access depends on the plan. API requests beyond the root URL require Basic authentication and a dedicated API-category user account. Plans start at $14.95 a month, and all plans have a 30-day trial. Lite includes one endpoint and one week of past results; higher tiers add endpoints and API access.
